University of Surrey researchers working on 5G mobile broadband claim to have broken the transfer speed limit of 1Tbps (Terabits per second).
Normally when people talk about 5G they are happen to hint at speeds of 10Gbps to 50Gbps (Gigabits per second). Samsung managed 7.5Gbps in a car moving at 60MPH over a distance of 4.35km and using the 28GHz radio spectrum band.
The Surrey test said that its performance was managed over 100 metres via new transmitters and receivers.
The plan is to take the technology outside of the lab for testing between 2016 and 2017, which would be followed by a public demo in early 2018.
Professor Rahim Tafazolli, who leads the project said that the technique is independent of centre frequency whether mm wave or below 6GHz.
“It is a new detector that works really well in environments where there is a lot of interference I.e dense cells (for example cells of ~100m) and cells with lots of interfering antennas like massive MIMO. The indicated rate was measured in 100MHz of bandwidth.”
